Reliability or Efficiency in Mechanical Dust Collector Operation, 1991 Engineering Conference Proceedings
Mechanical collectors are almost always used on bark fired boilers for the purpose of collecting char particles for fuel reinjection and ash and sand particles for elimination of erosion on induced draft fans. The adaption of specific fundamental guidelines in the design, erection, and operation of this equipment can assure reliability in achieving satisfactory results. This paper defines the shortcomings that have historically resulted in poor collector performance and subsequent premature fan failure. It also defines the state of the art of mechanical collector design.
Mechanical dust collectors are commonly used to centrifugally separate coarse particles from the flue gases of hogged fuel fired boilers. Centrifugal action within parallel arranged cyclones provides the force to separate the particles and subsequently accumulate them in the hopper of the dust collector.
